Something you might not remember…

Waimea is a common name in Hawaii and New Zealand. In Hawaiian, it means reddish water, but in Maori it has no meaning.

A gorge or canyon (cañon, old spelling occasionally still used) is a deep ravine between pairs of escarpments or cliffs and is the most often carved landscape by the erosive activity of a river over geologic timescales.

Kauaʻi or Kauai (/kə.ˈwaɪ.iː/; Hawaiian: [kɐwˈwɐʔi]) is geologically the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands.

Hawaii (English pronunciation: /həˈwaɪʲi/ hə-WY-(y)ee; locally, [həˈwɐ(ɪ)ʔi]; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi [həˈvɐjʔi]) is the 50th and most recent state of the United States of America, receiving statehood on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is the only U.S.
